Probably because it isn't feasable. The MML runs though large centres of population and there is a chance that the huge cost of electrification will be paid back though usage.
West of Bristol the population is much more sparse and really you couldn't easily get wires over the Royal Albert Bridge or along the seafront at Saltash.
The former would ruin the bridge and the latter would be just plain dangerous.
To look on the bright side, that section of the GWML will probably get a large amount of cascaded HSTs and Meridian units to provide extra capacity.
